Weekly Mundane Astrological Climate - Week of January 5 to 11, 2026

Introduction

You can view global aspects for any day and time using the Transits application, in simple chart mode after deselecting angular aspects in the form. Positions and aspects are calculated from Monday to Sunday at 12:00 PM UT.

The orb for major planetary aspects is set at three degrees. For the true North Node and Lilith, true positions are used. Minor aspects are excluded from interpretation due to their limited influence.

Planetary aspects shape the global context, influencing politics, economics, and social trends. Lunar aspects are not included here, as their brevity makes them too fleeting for a weekly analysis.

The same applies to the North Node, Lilith, and Chiron, whose influence through aspects remains insufficiently demonstrated.

This is not a personal horoscope but a form of mundane astrology highlighting planetary influence on a collective scale.

The week of January 5 to 11, 2026 begins under a strong Capricorn influence, with several key planets, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars, moving through this rigid and determined Earth sign. This reinforces a climate of discipline, sustained effort, and a strong focus on concrete and lasting goals. Collective dynamics emphasize the structuring of long-term projects, and the pursuit of tangible results is felt across many areas of social, economic, and institutional life. The Moon, transiting successively through the signs of Fire (Leo), Earth (Virgo), and Air (Libra), introduces collective emotional nuances that fluctuate between assertive expression, a need for organization, and a search for relational balance.

Mercury in Capricorn continues to support pragmatic thinking, oriented toward concrete analysis and the organization of information. The emphasis is placed on methodical analysis and rigorous examination of data, rather than on theoretical speculation. Venus and Mars, in conjunction in the same sign, reinforce relational and decision-making dynamics based on commitment, responsibility, and the pursuit of long-term stability, both in social and professional spheres. These transits support a collective climate in which patience, discipline, and perseverance act as essential levers, while impulsive reactions tend to be restrained.

In the background, long-term aspects continue to shape the collective climate. The Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Pisces carries on its work of redefining spiritual, ideological, and institutional reference points, while harmonious aspects involving Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto accompany a gradual process of transformation affecting collective structures. The energies of the week encourage pragmatic adaptation to ongoing changes, while clarifying long-term directions and supporting a constructive approach guided by lucidity and patience.

Long-Term Planetary Aspects – Enduring Trends

For the week of January 5 to 11, 2026, the sky retains most of its long-term configurations, dominated by the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Pisces, which continues to reshape collective reference points. The major currents involving the slow-moving planets maintain a coherent underlying dynamic, combining realism, inspiration, and gradual adaptation, without the support of the now inactive Jupiter-Saturn trine. The harmonious exchanges involving Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto nonetheless accompany gradual transformations, with a desire to modernize without disruption and to clarify what must evolve at a deeper level. Overall, this configuration reflects a climate of controlled transition, unfolding over the long-term.

• Saturn (Pisces) sextile Uranus (Taurus) supports a gradual evolution of structures by combining continuity with pragmatic innovation. This aspect facilitates the adaptation of existing frameworks to ongoing changes and encourages controlled modernization.
• Saturn (Pisces) conjunction Neptune (Pisces) marks a phase of deep reorganization of symbolic and institutional reference points. It confronts ideals with concrete realities and seeks to give form to what had previously remained diffuse or uncertain.
• Uranus (Taurus) sextile Neptune (Pisces) links innovation and inspiration within a fluid dynamic. This aspect encourages creative solutions adapted to collective needs and supports a more flexible understanding of the transformations underway.
• Neptune (Pisces) sextile Pluto (Aquarius) acts on collective consciousness by refining the perception of shared values. It supports gradual inner transformation and the smooth integration of new social paradigms.

Conclusion

The week of January 5 to 11, 2026 concludes in a rigorous and thoughtful atmosphere, marked by a strong demand for structuring and consolidation. Collective dynamics focus on the realistic evaluation of current orientations and the adjustment of priorities with a long-term perspective. The Moon in Scorpio at the end of the period intensifies emotional depth and collective transformations.

Mercury in Capricorn supports a more methodical mental organization, while Venus and Mars in this same sign reinforce dynamics of commitment, perseverance, and consistency in collective action.

In the background, the long-term configurations continue their work of progressively transforming institutional and symbolic reference points. The week thus ends with a tone of patient adjustment and preparation, framed within a context of clarity, responsibility, and ongoing adaptation.
